Abstract

Mapuche poetry by María Teresa Panchillo is coherent with the political- historical discourse Mapuche people, in turn develops a writing that pursues a fidelity to the structures and protocols of the Mapuche oral tradition. The contents of his poetry refer mainly to reclamation processes the land and to the strategies that allow these processes to have an effective impact on the Küme mongen or Buen Vivir of the Mapuche communities. In his poetics, the word implicate the mapudungun's pragmatic appreciation as a written language that must be read as a decolonial code. This essay explores the poetry of Panchillo as an exposition of the historic Mapuche autonomist discourse, at the same time as a mechanism of intra and intercultural communication of the structural and value aspects of the Mapuche language, which, according to Panchillo's poetics, sustain life in the territory Mapuche.
